Description
You deserve breakfast potatoes that are perfectly golden and wonderfully textured every time. This simple oven-roasted recipe guarantees crispy breakfast potatoes with a tender inside, seasoned with garlic and paprika for a flavorful morning side dish.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 lbs Yukon Gold potatoes, scrubbed and diced into 1-inch cubes
- 3 tablespoons avocado oil or olive oil
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley, for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit (220 Celsius). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- Place the diced potatoes in a large bowl. If you want extra crispy breakfast potatoes, soak the cubes in cold water for 15 minutes, then drain them completely and dry them thoroughly with a clean kitchen towel. This step removes surface starch, which helps them crisp up.
- In the bowl with the dried potatoes, add the avocado oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, dried rosemary, salt, and pepper. Toss everything together until the potatoes are evenly coated with the oil and seasonings.
- Spread the seasoned potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Do not overcrowd the pan; use two sheets if necessary. Overcrowding causes steaming instead of roasting.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 20 minutes.
- Remove the pan from the oven and carefully flip the potatoes using a spatula. Return them to the oven and roast for another 15 to 20 minutes, or until they are deeply golden brown and perfectly crispy on the outside.
- Remove the golden brown potatoes from the oven. Sprinkle with fresh parsley, if using. Serve your homemade breakfast potatoes immediately alongside your favorite eggs or sausage.
Notes
- For the best results when aiming for crispy breakfast potatoes, make sure your potatoes are completely dry before adding the oil and seasoning.
- If you prefer a skillet breakfast potatoes method, use a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Cook in batches if needed to maintain high heat and achieve a good sear.
- You can substitute the spices with your favorite blend, such as chili powder or dried thyme, for a different flavor profile.
